This threat, according to private information received lure, was sent the commander of the federals at Tampieo yesterday. So lung as the garrison ut Tampieo is aided by the guns of Bravo, there is little chance for the rebels to capture and hold the city. But they might easily devastate the whole region by carrying out the threat to shoot the tanks and fire the oil, estimated at one hundred thousand barrels.

A wireless report from Rear Admiral Fletcher indicates that conditions in the oil legions near Tuxpam are not as threatening as previously reported. It is indicated that no immediate aggressive action on the part of the I'nited States to furnish protection is necessary. Although there is no official report with relation to the Tampieo district, the belief here is that the situation there will be found similarly controlled. The border situation, as a result of tiie vigorous operations near Juarez, and the possibility of another siege of the -lty has aroused the war department to action to afford ample protection to El Paso and the neighboring border territory. Orders were issued today for the movement from Fort Douglas. Utah to El Paso of the Twentieth Infantry which will be used to preserve order within the city limits. The arrangement is to permit the use of two regiments of cavalry now in the vicinity of El Paso to guard the border in each direction from the city. In addition, a battery of the fifteenth artillery and Brigadier General Hugh L. Scott, with a squadron of the twelfth cavalry will go to El Paso as soon as they have composed the threatened outbreak of the Na-vajos in New Mexico. The war department, at the request of the American Red Cross, has issued orders permitting them to bring wounded Mexican soldiers, federal and constitutionalists alike, si cross the border into El Paso. The Red Cross finds it easier to care for the wounded in American torritoi than to enter into international ne-Kotiations necessary to cross the boundary. It is suggested that one important result of a rebel victory might be to bring into greater prominence the question of recognition by the United States of the constitutionalists' party as the defacto government of northern Mexico. Now Carranza can claim that his party is practically in physical possession of all the northern states of Mexico and it is expected he will comply further with the requirements of the International law Iry setting up a permanent capi-tol at Ilermosillo or Magdalena and completing the organization of a. provisional government. It is understood this question was discussed by Hale, in the recent negotiations with Carranza and Escudero. Then it was rather hypothetical as the federals were in great force in the state of Chihuahua. Hale is expected in Washington within a few days. o LOSSES ARE LESSENING r A8SOCJATED PHESS DISPATCH!

Extreme measures have been decided upon by the democrats in the senate to force the currency reform bill to an early vote. Determined to prevent the curtailment of business activity and relit ve the uncertainty in financial circles as to what form the currency legislation will take, the democrats have agreed to make the bill a party measure at once and have no Christmas re-kss unless the measure is passed before the time set for the holiday. They will sit day and night until final action is taken. Senate leaders, acting in harmony with the president decided to sit behind closed doors the remainder of the week, including Thanksgiving, until an agreement is reached to insure united support of the bill in the senate. Tlie determination of the democrat leaders to press the currency bill to a vote quickly became more apparent tonight, when it was virtually agreed j that the vote would be asked for when ever there came a lull in the speech-making in the senate. It is believed the .caucuc will come to a camplete agreement on ail features of the bill Saturday and that the democrats will then unite in an effort to shorten the debate and push the bill to its passage. Speeches made in the conference today and tonight, especially by the senators who recently returned to Washington from their home states, emphasized the demand for immediate action so that conditions might resume a normal state and any contraction of credit be prevented. The caucus discussed the number of regional banks to be established but came to no decision. It is believed, however, that the eight bank plan of the Owen bill will be endorsed. o STORM ON PACIFIC associated press dispatch! SEATTLE, Nov. 2u.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.The reading of the text-book of the Mazdaznan sun worship rs' cult occupied the entire ! day in the trial in federal court here of Ottoman Zar Adusht Hanish, the high priest of Mazdaznan. The book was branded as objectionable by the prosecutors, and Ilanish is on trial for sending it by express in violation of the interstate commerce law. The crowd which tilled the court room, in which were many women, gave close attention while the two district attorneys took turns in reading the original philosophy expressed in the twelve "lessons" into which the j book is divided. The subject matter, I which is largely medical in its na ture, dealt with the subject of eugenics and the relations of the sexes. Many of the paragraphs proved embarrassing.The reading will be finished tomorrow, the jurors having agreed to sit on Thanksgiving day. It is understood that the government will rest its case on the book, and that the lawyers for Hanish will contend that the book is proper to be circulated among persons old enough to understand its lessons. o GOMPERS IN 'FRISCO associated press dispatch SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.

CALUMET, Nov. 26. The Michigan Copper strike took a serious turn again tcnight, when a attempt was made to blow up the compressor house of the Ahmeck mine. A heavy charge of dynamite was exploded by a time fuse, but the force of the explosion was spent outside the building. The most serious damage consisted of shattered windows. Within twenty feet of the compressor house is the hunk house occupied by the mine guards. Officials think those who planned the explosion expected to destroy the bunk house, as well as the compressor house. The sheriff of Keweenaw county requested Governor Ferris today to declare martial law in AHouoz township, where there has been considerable shooting recently. To Aid Strikers. SEATTLE, Nov. 26.

Mayor Shank announced today that he will resign in the event of another strike being called in Indianapolis. The mayor, it became known today, was threatened last night by a committee of business men with impeachment proceedings unless ho averted labor troubles in the future. The mayor held a conference today with labor leaders, lie declared he has DINNER TODAY i' WILL COST IRE THAN IN YEARS According to Recently Gathered Government Statistics There Have Been Advances in Food Stuffs from 15 to 100 Per Cent COMBINATION ON COLD STORAGE Attorney General MeRey-nolds Starts Investigation to Learn Just How Much Middlemen Control Supply and Fix Prices associated press dispatchI WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 26. The Thanksgiving meal today will be the most expensive the average American family has eaten in recent years. It will cost from thirty-five to one hundred per cent more than it did ten. years ago and from fifteen to fifty per cent more than it did the last six years, according to" recently gathered government statistics. Thousands of turkeys have been spoiled by having been shipped to the market in the unseasonably warm spell which overpowered the country one week ago. The drought of last summer which spoiled the crop fields, particularly potatoes; an alleged cold storage combination which Attorney General McReynolds is investigating to find if millions of dozens of eggs and millions of pounds of dairy products have been withheld from the market by middle- j men to torce high prices and a steady soaring of prices generally in the last decade are among the conrtibuting causes to which the economists point. The great American hen, however, is somewhat responsible for the extraordinary price of eggs, according to the department of agriculture officials, who are reluctant to place all the blame upon the cold storage men. The heat and drought of last summer, they say caused the hens to stop laying sooner than usual. ... . As to "the turkey, the rise "In piice seems to have been all along the route to the consumer, beginning at the barnyard, where the farmer received an average of 15 cents per pound for the birds, about half a cent more than he received last year. The family which turns from the turkey to the chicken or pork or beef, will find the prices uniformly advanced. Hens show an average increase of eight cents per pound, pork t'rem two to eight cents; rib roasts two to ten cents; sweet potatoes are about the same price as last year, but the white potato crop is one hundred million bushels below last year and dangerous plant diseases abroad which have checked importations, have forced an increase in the price of apples, oranges, and grapes which are scarce because of short crops. Cranberries with a normal crop are a little higher than last year. Flour r,nd sugar are uniformly cheaper and butter shows no comparative advance. Eggs, however, from incomplete returns dated November 13, from all the principal cities, show an increase ranging from three to twenty-four cents a dozen over last year's prices. o MAGONE IN WRECK Drove Second in 50-mile Event at Arizona State Fair rPSOCTATEf) I'KKKrt DISPATCH!

C, Nov. 26. The Thanksgiving meal today will be the most expensive the average American family has eaten in recent years. It will cost from thirty-five to one hundred per cent more than it did ten. years ago and from fifteen to fifty per cent more than it did the last six years, according to" recently gathered government statistics. Thousands of turkeys have been spoiled by having been shipped to the market in the unseasonably warm spell which overpowered the country one week ago. The drought of last summer which spoiled the crop fields, particularly potatoes; an alleged cold storage combination which Attorney General McReynolds is investigating to find if millions of dozens of eggs and millions of pounds of dairy products have been withheld from the market by middle- j men to torce high prices and a steady soaring of prices generally in the last decade are among the conrtibuting causes to which the economists point. The great American hen, however, is somewhat responsible for the extraordinary price of eggs, according to the department of agriculture officials, who are reluctant to place all the blame upon the cold storage men. The heat and drought of last summer, they say caused the hens to stop laying sooner than usual. ... . As to "the turkey, the rise "In piice seems to have been all along the route to the consumer, beginning at the barnyard, where the farmer received an average of 15 cents per pound for the birds, about half a cent more than he received last year. The family which turns from the turkey to the chicken or pork or beef, will find the prices uniformly advanced. Hens show an average increase of eight cents per pound, pork t'rem two to eight cents; rib roasts two to ten cents; sweet potatoes are about the same price as last year, but the white potato crop is one hundred million bushels below last year and dangerous plant diseases abroad which have checked importations, have forced an increase in the price of apples, oranges, and grapes which are scarce because of short crops. Cranberries with a normal crop are a little higher than last year. Flour r,nd sugar are uniformly cheaper and butter shows no comparative advance. Eggs, however, from incomplete returns dated November 13, from all the principal cities, show an increase ranging from three to twenty-four cents a dozen over last year's prices. o MAGONE IN WRECK Drove Second in 50-mile Event at Arizona State Fair rPSOCTATEf) I'KKKrt DISPATCH!
